    3 attacks 3 goals in 7 minutes. We were shell shocked as fans. And then for the next 83 minutes Barnsley laid siege. Whereas the portsmouth game, it took until half time to regain any sort of composure.
    But what a team that 1982 one was.

    I can distinctly remember Bangers goal going in and thinking "panic over - we've got this".

    Such was the feeling back then. Almost untouchable. On the pitch and off.

    I wondered what I was doing that day and I was at Tannadice v Celtic in a 2-2 draw.
    This footage of the game was posted by Ronnie Glavin.

    I can still see the look on Malcolm McDonald's face when Tony Cunningham's header went in.

    Not sure but I seem to remember we won 2-1 at Newcastle the week before the Fulham game. Remember standing on the open terrace away end when St James Park was nothing like it is today. Think it was Tony Cunningham’s debut? I might have got this wrong mind…..

    I wasn't there (unemployed and living in Cambridge at the time) but listened to the BBC radio and was gutted when we went 3-0 down. How good it must have been in Oakwell at the end though...

    Wasn't his debut against Grimsby on a Tuesday night? Or was that David Geddis?

    I’m a member of that FB group and enjoy reading the scores etc. It’s good that they provide first names as well. I find I can remember most of the scorers listed and it’s nice to see how healthy our crowds were in comparison to a few other bigger clubs. They soon fell away though in the mid-80s and we all know why
